Pros

Job security, the firm keeps hiring because cyber-security solutions are in high demand. They hire a lot of young people.

Cons

Salaries below industry average especially when compared to other US firms with offices in Canada. Extremely high number of Chinese immigrant workers who speak poor English, leading to real diversity issues in some departments. Only 15 days PTO allowed in your first year. No sick days, gotta take PTO if you are sick as no remote work is allowed. No food options available on site, not even snacks. You need a car. Only coffee and tea are available. Working day is 8 hours but no lunch break is included. So you actually must stay 9 hours at the office every day.
